    Maybe but then I'm more likely to go triple captain on a double, as most people probably will.

    Christmas 2025

    Yeah - as a nearly 40 year-old man I could do without all the presents and the performative 'thanks dad' 'thanks uncle whoever' for the stuff you either didn't want, or expressly told them to buy so you knew it was coming. But here we are. Christmas for me is just about having time off work and...

    Christmas 2025

    For my wife, Christmas is seemingly about wasting money on an insane amount of pointless gifts, and my refusal to do that was ruining Christmas for her apparently. She bought stockings for all three of us, rather than just our little one, and was on the verge of tears when I told her I had no...

    GPS vs. Laser Rangefinders What Do You Actually Use on the Course?

    Got too drawn in to aiming at the pin. Often if it was a front pin and I lasered it, I'd be tempted to go down a club and then end up hitting short of the green. I worked out that you hit more greens if you just aim between middle and back every time and don't worry about where the flag is. In...

    Random Irritations

    We had a test drive booked with Jaecoo this morning. They phoned and said we'd have to reschedule, because the person with the test-drive car hasn't turned up today so they don't have it available. What on earth? The staff are driving round in the cars that they use for test drives?? Don't think...

    Christmas/New Year Golf

    Played yesterday as I've already finished work. If I'm lucky I might be able to play twice next weekend which is a rarity - Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon. After that not sure, might do an early new year's eve round as we have done that before.

    GPS vs. Laser Rangefinders What Do You Actually Use on the Course?

    GPS app on my phone. Tried a range finder in the past and didn't find it very helpful. I'm much better off just knowing the back and middle of the green yardages and aiming to hit it inside there.

    Fantasy Footie 25/26

    Exactly what I did, seemed the most sensible time to use it. I think for the second ones I might try and time it so whenever I use wildcard, I'll plan to use bench boost the week after. Since you can't use them both on the same week I don't think.

    I played today and..(Rolling) -originally created by JohnnyDee

    Got out this morning with a mate as I'm off work now til Jan. Quite mild weather, not too cold at all. Front nine fairly steady until a poor chip on the 7th brought me a double - and a poor three-putt on the 8th brought a bogey when I should've parred. Six over front nine for 16 points...

    I played today and..(Rolling) -originally created by JohnnyDee

    Played early this morning, out before 8 as I had things to do in the afternoon. Freezing to begin with, but the sun was out so it warmed up by the end. Started on fire, level par after 4 including a nice birdie 3 on the 2nd. Then the wheels starting falling off - three-putt bogeys on 5 and 6...
